Action Smacked: Robo Vampire

Action Smacked: Robo Vampire

Another pick from Action Smacked, but with a twist: Jason already owned this on DVD. This movie is terrible in the most wonderful ways but we also talk a lot about Robocop because how can you NOT?

H…

Action Smacked: Mr. No Legs

Action Smacked: Mr. No Legs

We continue with our season of movies selected by Action Smacked. We had a lot of fun with this exploitation classic, even if it technically gave Jason serious anxiety.

Action Smacked: Lady Terminator

Action Smacked: Lady Terminator

We start a new season where Jeff Kirschner from Action Smacked picks the movies for us. This week we start with a doozy: 1988's Lady Terminator, out of Indonesia. Is it more than just a Terminator r…

Street Fighter 2-Japan: The Last Dinosaur

Street Fighter 2-Japan: The Last Dinosaur

Sam (shockingly) enjoyed this more than Jason, but this live-action Japanese co-pro from Rankin Bass does have some charm. Warning: we digress A LOT on this one. #anythingbutcobra

Street Fighter 2-Japan: The Green Slime

Street Fighter 2-Japan: The Green Slime

Sam liked this a lot more than Jason, but it's still a fun watch and has a hell of a title song!

Street Fighter 2-India: Mr. India

Street Fighter 2-India: Mr. India

Jason spends more time talking about comic books thank he does this "superhero" movie out of 80's India.

Street Fighter 2-Brazil: The Fifth Power

Street Fighter 2-Brazil: The Fifth Power

Jason was almost dead for this episode, so apologies on how bad he sounds, but he did come up with quite the find: We watched a version of this movie that was terrible quality, but it still managed t…

Street Fighter 2-USA: Ghost Warrior

Street Fighter 2-USA: Ghost Warrior

If this was Samurai Encino Man, it would have been a far better movie. Listen in while we discuss what wasted opportunity this movie was and still wish there was a sequel to watch.

Street Fighter 2-Spain: The People Who Own the Dark

Street Fighter 2-Spain: The People Who Own the Dark

We were initially excited by this odd offering from Spain, but ultimately were let down.

Street Fighter 2-Hong Kong(?!?): Mad Mission

Street Fighter 2-Hong Kong(?!?): Mad Mission

Not only does Sam not understand Geography, but he doesn't care about history, either. We continue our Street Fighter 2 map with Sam's Chinese pick, 1982's Mad Mission, which is actually out of Hong…

Street Fighter 2-USSR: Stalker

Street Fighter 2-USSR: Stalker

Sam hates this classic movie out of the USSR, but Jason knows it's a work of art. Things kinda spiral out of control from there.

Street Fighter 2-Taiwan(?!?): Calamity of Snakes

Street Fighter 2-Taiwan(?!?): Calamity of Snakes

First off, Sam doesn't understand geography, as we're doing a movie from Taiwan in place of one from Thailand. Having said that, this movie is WILD. Just do your best to get through the "story" par…

Street Fighter 2-USA: Steel Frontier

Street Fighter 2-USA: Steel Frontier

Sam didn't like this one, but Jason thinks it's better than it should have been. There's also a lot of talk about things that aren't this movie, more so than usual, at least. This is a long one, so…

Street Fighter 2-USA: Mindwarp

Street Fighter 2-USA: Mindwarp

This is the first of Sam's "Street Fighter 2" season, where we follow the game's map with a movie from each country. Really, it's just an excuse for Sam to be able to pick an American movie for a ch…

Brian Trenchard-Smith

Brian Trenchard-Smith

We interview ozploitation legend, Brian Trenchard-Smith (see half of our Australian episodes in season 2!). Brian is (obviously) an amazing storyteller, touching on his novel "Alice Through the Mult…

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 2)

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 2)

Sam has a lot to say, including how much he loves League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. No, seriously.

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Decoder

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Decoder

Weird Movie = Weird Episode - Great sounds and music though, and apparently, we find out that Jason does not like True Lies? while learning about his career at the Grocery store, working on Hallmark…

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 1)

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: World on a Wire (part 1)

We're going to take two episodes to cover this German miniseries from 1973. Jason LOVES this while Sam isn't so convinced.

Please excuse Jason's wonky sound this episode (just THIS episode?!?) as h…

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Hard to be a God (1989)

Forgotten German Sci-Fi: Hard to be a God (1989)

Sam loved this movie, but Jason not so much. Fire up this episode to listen to Sam go on about how awesome Ancient Astronauts is.
